Prognosis
 
  McCain says a stent will serve well to prevent
sudden death caused by atrial fib,
let us hope that it works as some folks are hell-bent
to vote Caribou Mom (I ad lib) .
Well a stent is a tube that will never repair
a defect caused by collagen lack,
without nutrients often the plaque will just tear
and the man has a major attack.
There is cortisol too, it is triggered by stress
and it sets in a body the stage,
my prognosis is poor, this I'm here to confess
and the biggest confounder is age.
So, quo vadis my friends, where will liberty go
when you've truly run out of the oil,
bankrupt paupers no longer are running the show
and your war chest is way off the boil.
I suggest that you find lots of courage inside
and the way back to listen to God,
it is time you get off this weird mistletoe ride
lest they shun you, a country so odd.

Excellent composition. Interesting perspective! Comment on previous comment. (Ted Sheridan) Quite the contrary...among the fundamental reasons to vote Obama should be considered.....precisely....because.....of the company he has kept!

Fine rhyme even if I totally support her as VP. I couldn't vote for Obama if my life depended on it because of the company he has kept.
